Production of mitogen-free immune interferon and T-cell growth factor by human peripheral blood lymphocytes induced with biotin-labeled staphylococcal enterotoxin A. 1984

B R Clark, and B J Mills, and K Horikoshi, and J E Shively, and C W Todd

A method for the facile removal of mitogens or inducers of lymphokine production from cell culture medium of stimulated cells is described. The technique is based on the covalent attachment of biotin to mitogen or inducer and the removal of the biotinylated products from stimulated cell culture medium using immobilized avidin. Using this procedure, biotin-labeled staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA-B) was shown not to differ significantly from unmodified SEA in its capacity to stimulate mitogenesis and induce production of immune interferon (IFN) and T-cell growth factor (TCGF) in cultures of human mononuclear cells from peripheral blood. SEA-B was also shown not to differ from SEA in its binding to SEA antibodies. Results of mitogenicity studies and competitive radioimmune assay (RIA) measurements indicate that SEA-B is essentially completely removed from stimulated cell culture medium by absorption with avidin coupled to Sepharose 4B.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D007376 Interleukin-2 A soluble substance elaborated by antigen- or mitogen-stimulated T-LYMPHOCYTES which induces DNA synthesis in naive lymphocytes.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
